STEPHANIE'S APRICOT WHITE CHOCOLATE COOKIES



Stephanie's Apricot White Chocolate Cookies image

I got this recipe from my brother, who is a chef in Philadelphia. We trade recipes from time to time, and he thought they would be tasty. I agreed. I thought the recipe was unique, pairing two distinct flavors in one mouthful. My brother and my father enjoy white chocolate, and they asked me to bake these cookies for them as part of our holiday celebration. Although my brother is a professional, he'll even admit that he defers to me when it comes to cookies, pies and cakes! In our family, I do the baking. I enjoy the flavor of white chocolate mixed with the sweetness of the apricots. I also love how pretty these cookies are. They are great with a cup of tea or a glass of cold milk. Lastly, these cookies are a snap to make. That makes them even better!

My mom shared this recipe with me after sampling these cookies at a bed-and-breakfast. For a little variation, I sometimes substitute cranberries and pecans for the apricots and almonds. -Amy Forkner, Cheyenne, Wyoming

APRICOT WHITE CHOCOLATE COOKIES



Apricot White Chocolate Cookies image

A heavenly cookie with an unbelievable flavor. The nuts are optional, or can be exchanged with other types (almonds and walnuts are also good). For the white chocolate, I chop up 2 Lindt white chocolate and coconut bars because I like the coconut addition, but any other white chocolate bar or white chocolate chips would work just as well.

APRICOT ALMOND DREAM COOKIES



Apricot Almond Dream Cookies image

A package of dried apricots began this journey, and now they are one of my ultimate cookies. I love the chewiness of these cookies. The white chocolate drizzle is made with white chocolate chips melted with a little cream and cream cheese and powdered sugar. Then, topped with sliced almonds that give these cookies that extra special crunch on top. I hope you love them as much as I do.

COOKIES
1 cup(s) salted butter, room temp
1 cup(s) light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup(s) granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon(s) almond extract
2 cup(s) flour
2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1 cup(s) quick cooking oats
6 ounce(s) dried apricots, roughly chopped or snipped
1/2 cup(s) sweetened coconut
1/2 cup(s) sliced almonds, roughly chopped
WHITE CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE
1/2 cup(s) vanilla or white chocolate chips
1/4 cup(s) cream cheese
2 tablespoon(s) heavy cream
3/4 cup(s) powdered sugar
1/2 cup(s) sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with silpat mat or parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, light brown sugar and granulated sugar and beat on medium high speed 3-4 minutes until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat on medium speed after each addition. Add vanilla and almond extract and continue to beat an additional 1 minute.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and oats. Slowly add to mixing bowl with speed on low until just combined. Add apricots, coconut and almonds and continue to mix on low to combine.
  • Spoon by heaping teaspoons onto prepared cookie sheet and bake 10-12 minutes until golden on the outside and set in the middle when touched with fingertip. Remove and allow to cool 10 minutes on pan.
  • To make drizzle, add white chocolate chips, cream cheese and heavy cream to a medium microwave-safe bowl and heat 1 minute on high. Whisk until smooth. If necessary, heat another 30 seconds and whisk until no lumps remain.
  • Transfer cookies to a plate or cooling rack and drizzle with warm drizzle generously. Sprinkle tops with sliced almonds while before drizzle dries. Makes 36 cookies

Tips:

- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using real butter, not margarine, and high-quality chocolate chips and nuts. - Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. - Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The temperature will vary depending on the recipe, so be sure to follow the recipe carefully. - Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set around the edges and the tops are just beginning to brown. - Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

Apricot and white chip cookies with almonds are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple dough that is flavored with dried apricots, white chocolate chips, and almonds. The cookies are then baked until golden brown and chewy. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
